Many fathers have preconceived ideas of how their sons should act and what they should be interested in. But let me say this again: God made your son in His image, not yours.

Proverbs 5 shows us that a father is to talk straight with his son about the boundaries God has put around His gift of sex. Notice that the father doesn’t mince any words. He attempts to prepare his son for what might occur long before it happens. This is precisely what we are to do as leaders of our homes.
